Winemaker Notes

Deep and bright red color with violet notes. Intense floral aromas of rosemary and sage, accompanied by black cherries and a background of roasted bell pepper. Good balance on the palate with good volume, structure and freshness that is accompanied by a long and fruity finish.

Blend: 92% Carménère, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot

Professional Ratings

  • 90

    Currants and currant leaves with olives and spices. A medium-bodied red with a juicy and smooth palate, showing good carmenere typicality.

  • 90

    The 2019 Carménère Gran Reserva Calcu also contains 4% dashes of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from Marchigüe, Colchagua, and was aged for 12 months in French barrels. Purple with a garnet sheen. The aromas feature ripe plum, blackberry jam, ash and a hint of capsicum. In the mouth, the palate is expansive with a medium body and low freshness, while herbal aromas gather at the back of the throat.

Calcu Winery Video

Rodrigo Romero is the winemaker of an exciting line of small production wines made for everyday drinking but far more interesting and distinctive than most in its category. Calcu, which means "magician" in the local Mapuche language, was created to emphasize the diversity of Chile’s Colchagua Valley with most of the estate fruit coming from the family’s cool Marchigüe vineyard.

Dark, full-bodied and herbaceous with a spicy kick, Carménère found great success with its move to Chile in the mid-19th century. However, the variety went a bit undercover until 1994 when many plantings previously thought to be Merlot, were profiled as Carménère. Somm Secret— Carménère is both a progeny and a great-grandchild of the similarly flavored Cabernet Franc.

Colchagua Valley Wine

Rapel Valley, Chile

View all products

Well-regarded for intense and exceptionally high quality red wines, the Colchagua Valley is situated in the southern part of Chile’s Rapel Valley, with many of the best vineyards lying in the foothills of the Coastal Range.

Heavy French investment and cutting-edge technology in both the vineyard and the winery has been a boon to the local viticultural industry, which already laid claim to ancient vines and a textbook Mediterranean climate.

The warm, dry growing season in the Colchagua Valley favors robust reds made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Malbec and Syrah—in fact, some of Chile’s very best are made here. A small amount of good white wine is produced from Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
